I was thinking the other day about how sometimes I just really want to be thanked.
Like, I do a lot of things I really don't have to do for people and sometimes it'd just be nice to be thanked.

I know it's a selfish thing for me, because it's certain people that I want to thank me...sometimes I'd honestly just like to know if I've helped them out at all, but sometimes it is for selfish reasons.

I just wonder if it's wrong to feel that in general sometimes.
Just to be thanked, to have someone do a random act of kindness for you.

This is by no means a pity thing, but I think a is-it-okay-to-ask-someone-to-encourage-you thing.

Somedays are hard.
Somedays I would just absolutely love for someone to do something, write me something, SAY something to me.

Lately I've still been dealing with "Is this really God wanting me to do this, go and say this and do that for a particular person? or is it me? are they receiving it or weirded out?" and I just want to know the answer to those questions.

...And by the way, because this is how I've felt the last couple days, God said you know what, I think I'll go ahead and let that happen for you....

So last night at 2 AM I received this:


God smiles when He looks down at you.

THANK YOU.
It made me tear up honestly.
That is truth and that truth will bring LIFE when I'm weary and discouraged.

I got affirmation from GOD that all of the things I feel like He tells me to do for others.....write them a note, or send them something, etc. etc. He is telling me

YES I AM USING YOU
YES I AM USING THOSE THINGS
AND YES, I'M A BIG FAN OF YOU AND YOU MAKE ME SMILE.


Well,
praise God from whom all blessings flow.
